Four Spawn Comics In Diamond Comic Distributors January 2022 Top Ten

Image Comics' Spawn: The Scorched #1 was most-ordered comic book through Diamond Comic Distributors. One of four Spawn books in the top ten. While Boom Studios' Something Is Killing the Children Volume 4 was the month's most ordered graphic novel. Now of course much of this is because Marvel and DC Comics have quit much of their distribution through Diamond, but not all. Retailers can still order Marvel on worse terms through Diamond and Diamond UK still has the monopoly on Marvel and DC in the UK.

In total, Image Comics had eight of January's ten best-selling comics through Diamond. Other titles in the top ten include Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' long-awaited Saga #5, Stray Dogs: Dog Days #2, the Nocterra Special, Gunslinger Spawn #4, King Spawn #6, Spawn #325 and Joe Hill's Rain #1.  So it wasn't all just Spawn.

James Tynion IV, Tate Brombal, Chris Shehan, and Werther Dell'Edera's House of Slaughter #4 from Boom Studios ranked #6 for the month while the collection of the original SIKTC is dominating the collection sales. Also in the top ten, Rainbow Rowell and Roge Antonia's She-Hulk #1 from Marvel Comics ranked #9.

For the other premier publishers, IDW Publishing's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #125 was their best-selling book at #19; Dynamite Entertainment's top book, Vampirella/Dracula: Unholy #2, ranked #23; and Dark Horse Comics' Hellboy: The Silver Lantern Club #4 ranked #120.

VIZ Media had three titles in the top ten, including Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba—Stories of Water and Flame (#2), Dragon Ball Super Volume 15 (#9), and Pokémon Adventures: X·Y Volume 1 (#10).

Image Comics had five titles in the top ten, all collections of Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples' Saga. Volume 1 ranked #3, Compendium Volume 1 ranked #4, Volume 2 ranked #5, Volume 9 ranked #7, and Volume 3 ranked #8.

Among the premier publishers' top books, IDW Publishing's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 4: Tempest from Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill ranked #15; Mike Mignola and Warwick Johnson-Cadwell's original Dark Horse Comics hardcover graphic novel Falconspeare ranked #19; Marvel Comics' X-Men: The Hellfire Gala ranked #28; and Dynamite Entertainment's The Boys Omnibus Volume 1, collecting the Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson series that inspired the Amazon Prime series, ranked #65
